Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 23 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“The company were brilliant and the lads on the job were so professional. Jeoff Paul and Ty worked really hard and made a great job of our raised viewing platform.”
“I would highly recommend this company. We have worked with them over a couple of weeks to re-build a garage wall, build new car port gates as well as arrange fitment of a new garage door. They were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, reliable with brilliant communication and their work was excellent quality. Would definitely not hesitate to use this company in the future.”
“This job was not an easy undertaking for any builder (partially sub-terranean room in an 1830's Grade II listed cottage) but SBC Builders were happy to undertake the renovation works at a very reasonable cost. The room had heavy damp issues and required full stripping back to brick and removal of the floor down to clay. The team were punctual, professional, polite and tidy at all times and their work is of a really high standard. Communication has also been excellent throughout the job. We are really happy with the finish and wouldn't hesitate in recommending SBC Builders.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
